First escape!

Lol I had a 1 year old KSB do the same. "You don't need clips" they said, "he'll never leave the ground" they said, "he's not strong enough to push up the lid". LMAO. My KSB climbs more than any of my other 3 snakes. Little weirdo. He gets double clips

Famous last words- "you don't need clips" or "he can't possibly push that lid off".

For many years I attached light-weight chains w/ eye-bolts + clips (like on dog leashes) on other end from my home-made wood/screen lids to whatever cabinet my
tanks sat on. I keep primarily colubrids but back then I also kept a number of rattlesnakes (for 20 years) so I took NO chances...cages were secure. I still do that
on some of my cages, but ever since I moved cross-country & had to replace the tanks (too expensive to ship!), I had to make new lids to fit the slightly different size
tanks, so I've gotten somewhat lazy & now some of my cages have lids that are only weighed-down. But when you do it that way, you REALLY have to OVER-do it,
to always be sure. If your little noodles can manage to escape, just think what a motivated 7' constrictor can do? No escapes but I really should put the chains
back on one of these days...thanks for reminding me.
